Howard, you are a master of making people smile and be happy with your cars! Think of how the memories that were made that day will last forever with the people that experienced the Black Beast. I wish I was recovered enough to have attended.

Just wondering, can you run it on today’s pump gas?

That second “Morning” pic, ¾ left rear view, shows to advantage just how far out behind the rear of the car those rear dumb irons extend! As to the parade, which I used to attend faithfully, especially when my kiddies were little (there were rides ij rumble seats!), who cares about some noisy, smelly old ALC0 when there’s a glorious 1941 Chrysler convertible in front? :↓·) Sam, III

The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.
